Seeing how many times AD brought the ball up last night and the ball ran through him above the break, and knowing they likely haven't had the chance to customize their offense around the new roster yet, even in the simplest terms, I think something became clear:
They were playing Luka as the 4. He was playing PG on offense, obviously, but when those sets were drawn up, his number was the 4. AD literally slotted into that same position, and was basically performing Luka's role in the offense at times last night, at least in terms of court positioning and spacing, so that the others could do the off-ball movements they've been practicing all season.
How this plays out in the future, I don't know, but I found that to be quite interesting.
